The room was basic, but had working air conditioning and a very convenient kitchen area, with an oven, microwave, and refrigerator, which all came in handy. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but everything else was great."

"Maid service was commendable."

Point A Kensington Olympia

8/10 Good

"Small "cosy" room but immaculately clean. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room which was a little disappointing. Air con was brilliant. Staff were friendly and helpful, good service from Shameem (??) the housekeeper. Good selection at breakfast.
